Consider the arrangment shown that is at rest. Each pulley has mass m and radius R. (a) If we release the system, with what speed does the 3m mass hit the spring (which was a distance h below its intial position)? (b) If the spring undergoes a maximum compression of h, what is the spring constant k? (c) Does the maximum compression of the spring depend on whether or not the pulleys had mass?
